The submission describes an IT security consultancy (DoyenGC-ApON) focusing on digital transformation and cybersecurity. While solving a highly relevant real-world problem, the project suffers from extremely vague and hyperbolic claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' for audience reach) and lacks substantial verifiable evidence of technical innovation beyond standard consulting services. The response quality is low, heavily relying on copied news snippets without detailing the actual product or service infrastructure. It is evaluated at a small scale with minimal verifiable traction.

Description
Digital Transformation is all about making Company competent enough so that it can en-cash all the digital Moments that come while doing Business . More digital dependency opens a set of unlimited opportunity for an Organization. The Organization becomes No-LIMIT organization as a result. When we hear this as CEO or Board member , we aspire to come under this ever agile ever transforming group that grows digital and boundless . There is one aspect that we often tend to ignore that comes naturally with any such big opportunity for growth. What if when everything is going fine and Security Breach happens. For an example , we just came across " Equifax on Monday afternoon said that 2.5 million additional U.S. consumers were exposed as a result of the massive data breach disclosed by the company last month. The credit reporting agency now says that a total of 145.5 million individuals have been exposed." "If this breach has taught us anything, it’s that there’s no doubt about what a monumental problem cybercrime has become. If the company that people pay to protect themselves from a breach has been compromised itself, how can we expect any repository to be safe? Data exposed as a result of cyber attack involved names, social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses and, in some cases, driver’s license numbers and credit card numbers. " The above is just one recent news, we know IT Infrastructure or running apps say machine learning, automation, analytics , sensors data, ERP, webApp, health data, customer data, social data and our obvious need to keep them secured and protected when we handle them as custodian. Doyen-ApON handles this area of entire info-security needs very aptly. We assess and engage for long term, we have best of the brains working on these with us , we have experienced practicing professionals that is our USP . We are drawing best of both the worlds India and USA.
